I got my undergraduate degree in Japanese from The Ohio State University. After teaching English in Japan for several years, I decided to pursue teaching and got my Masters in Education from Chaminade University in Hawaii! I've taught kindergarten almost my entire career and love working with young minds!

I look forward to seeing you here at Lafayette!

I attended University of California Santa Barbara and have always loved to work with students in hands on engaging ways; the garden and science are perfect ways to experience learning firsthand!

I have been working in education since 2016 and have been teaching at Roxhill since 2025. I love being a part of a team to help students feel successful every day. I believe every student deserves to feel joy and belonging at school! In my free time, I'm often hanging out at local parks with my toddler. Wave if you see us! - Teacher James

I have been working in education since 2021 and have been working at Roxhill since 2025. I love being an educator and deeply believe in the power and success of our communities. My favorite part of teaching isn’t just sharing knowledge with my students, but also learning from them and their families. Outside of school, I love spending time hiking and exploring the outdoors! There’s something about the mountain air that refreshes the soul and reminds me of something greater. - Ms. Math
